For those fresh coffee addicts and snobs out there, Paris now has some excellent options for your favourite brew.
It does come at a price though, as you can find old, dishwater espresso at many Parisian cafes for around EUR2, but for the good stuff you have to budget from EUR4 (AUD$5.85) to EUR5.50 (AUD$8) a cup. And for an Aussie like me, that equals some of the most expensive cappuccinos in the world.
But such is the price you pay when you choose quality over quantity. So I drank less coffee, but really good coffee.
Here are my pics:
